Living

There is a large open plan living space in La Maison Bois, with extensive views on to a large terrace and garden. The kitchen and living areas have been designed to be the heart of the home. Whether you are cooking, reading or relaxing you can still feel that you are together. If at any point you do want to take a break there is a secret room, hidden away upstairs. Or if there weather is hot and sunny, there are plenty of shady spots in the garden where you can kick back and enjoy your pineau in peace!

Kitchen

The Kitchen

La Maison Bois has a very well equipped kitchen and because the house was only finished in the Winter 2015, all the fixtures and fittings are brand new. There is a toaster, kettle, coffee machine, microwave, oven, induction hob and dishwasher, as well as all the other cutlery, crockery and utensils you would hope to find. There is also children’s plates, bowls and cutlery should you need it.

Living Room

The living room has a TV (French channels), DVD player with a large collection of films and plenty of books and games. Enough to keep you entertained should the weather turn!

About La Maison Bois

La Maison Bois was designed and completed in 2015 by young British Architect Tom Kyle, in the quest to self build a sustainable, low impact, holiday home, in the popular and beautiful region of Charente.

The house is in the village of Montembouef and is within easy reach of numerous leisure activities, historic cities and is just 45 minutes from Limoges airport. It is a beautiful, self catering house with four bedrooms suitable for both families and friends looking to take a break from their busy lives.

Relax and unwind in its open plan layout. Sit out on the expansive south facing terraces and take in the uninterrupted views across the countryside. Explore and play in the large garden; pick the fruit, roll down the hill, hide among the trees or just enjoy the peace and solitude.

About Us

At the end of 2012, we decided that we would try to make our dream of building a house in France a reality. As Tom is an Architect this was a fantastic opportunity for him. We were both keen to build a house that was as sustainable as possible and wanted to use local builders and materials wherever we could.
